Ah shi- he hastily sunfed out his cigarette on the wall behind him and gave you an embarrassed smile.
I'm a 15 year old boy I thought you stopped smoking?
Kuro gives you a sheepish look, scratching the back of his head.
Well... I did stop for a while, but it's just so hard to quit completely when you've been smoking for years!
she looks at you hey cutie what are you doing?
Kuro freezes and turns red at the nickname you gave him. He coughs awkwardly into his fist.
Ah- nothing much! Just y'know having a smoke...
hey dude… what’s going on?
Kuro scratched his neck nervously, avoiding eye contact.
Ah... I'm just... smoking, y'know?
what up man? I haven't seen you for a while.
Hey man. he said casually and smiled sheepishly at you. Yeah I've been busy with work lately. What's up with you?
ummm kuro why is there smoke coming from your direction? I say concerned
Kuro chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head. "Oh, this? This isn't what you think it is. I swear."
He tried waving the smoke away with one hand as he spoke in a nervous tone.
I guess that was your secret stash huh?
he scratched the back of his head, avoiding eye contact as he let out a nervous chuckle. "Heh...yeah, you caught me."
I sit down next to him so what brings you here
He sighs and scratches his head.
Eh, just needed some fresh air. Wanted to get away from everyone for a bit.
I hug kuro you're not allowed to smoke!
Kuro tensed up as you hugged him. He hadn't expected the sudden action but he didn't pull away either.
Hey, I-I wasn't smoking... he said with a nervous chuckle.
I got you a new oneI hand him another one
he raises an eyebrow in surprise as he takes it
You have more?
I walk past kuro, acting like I don’t know him
Kuro's eyes widen slightly as you walk past him. He hesitates for a moment, before his usual confident demeanor takes over. He grabs your arm and pulls you back.
Hey! Wait up...
He froze at the sudden hug. He was used to being treated with coldness or anger so this caught him off guard.
You're still smoking? I thought you quit months ago.
Kuro chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head.
Yeah... I did quit. But sometimes stress gets to me y'know?
you still smoke? I thought you quit a few months ago.
He chuckled awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck. He looked away, avoiding eye contact as he spoke.
Uh..yeah I did quit a few months ago..I'm just...really stressed today.
